HATE 19 (Fantagraphics/1990-1998, 2001) *(Grade:NEAR MINT) #19 *In "Partners," Buddy and Jay celebrate the grand opening of their new collectibles shop (called B J's Collector's Emporium), providing ample humor for (and skewering of) collectors and store owners alike. A druggy urinating into a Marvel Comics coffee mug exemplifies Bagge's depraved sense of humor and his cynical obsession with satire. Written and drawn by Peter Bagge, with inks by Jim Blanchard. ***Hate is the Harvey Award-winning title from Peter Bagge, following up on characters introduced in his previous work, Neat Stuff. Hate is primarily the story of a loser named Buddy Bradley, a man living the slacker equivalent of the good life in a dumpy apartment in Seattle. Buddy works at crummy jobs, watches the neighbors for recreation, and his main cultural aspiration is to become a true beer connoisseur. His life may be purposeless and depressing, but he?s really just an Everyman for the nineties. Some years after the start of this 1990 series, journalists would give the post-Baby Boom generation the moniker ?Generation X.? Supposedly, Gen X-ers lived in an era of diminished expectations, condemned to dreary ?McJobs? and cynical about what the future holds. If so, Buddy Bradley would make a fine candidate as the Generation-X poster child. **BUY MORE- PAY NO ADDITIONAL SHIPPING WITHIN THE USA!**
